Thanks to Joshua Drake and Command Prompt for providing hosting space and even having an appropriate domain. To cut off one question I expect to pop up, yes it would be nice to have this integrated with the main postgresql.org site and its existing account structure. But since Joshua was the only person who answered my request for hosting space I used the server he volunteered. We'd be glad to move this to somewhere more official if that were available, I'm focused on creating the content and don't care where it lives at.
Greg et al, thanks very much for taking this idea and making it a reality. Since I was one of the ones who requested it, I'll sign up for an account right away (done). Regarding "where it lives", what is the constraint that prevents it from residing on the main site? Space? Money?
I see one addition that would be helpful to newcomers to this tool such as myself. The Main Page jumps right into the PG related material; "Getting Started" refers to getting started with PG, not with getting started contributing to the community documentation. I discovered that clicking the "About PostreSQL Docs" link on the bottom of the page produces a short intro to the purpose of the site. Could we also get added to this page a sentence or two about the software that runs the site, and a pointer to documentation on that software? I know, I know, this is "user-contributed" documentation, so I'm free to add that myself. Hopefully you appreciate my Catch-22 ;).
"About PostgreSQL Docs" is an important topic, and should be elevated to the same list as "Main Page".
